4.8

Dec 21, 2015

MAIN COURSE• Introducing Spotlight: a purty new place to quickly find the best deals, collections, trailers, free TV and more. We add new titles and deals just about every day, so hooray for more reasons to look at your phone!

SIDES• The return (and not a reboot) of Search for My Movies & My TV• You can now watch trailers without signing in. Are you not entertained?!

EXTRA GRAVY• On the TV season episode grid, we moved up the episode play button to align with the episode name. OCD much?• Some movies and TV shows dated, got a little biz-zay and suddenly we had bundles with both movies and TV shows together running around. Dealing with these multi-format young’uns wasn’t easy. Do we put them in My Movies? Or My TV? A special section of their own? The politically correct answer is now both.• The playback bar now shows when casting with the iPad Mini. It previously only did on larger iPads, but HR told us we couldn’t discriminate against small devices.• Sometimes play buttons would show up on TV series you didn’t own. Gotcha! LOL. JK. Don’t be silly. It was just a bug. If it really played you would have heard about it on Slickdeals.• In some cases, if you pressed play then quickly closed the player, then repeatedly did that, the audio would continue playing. You would not unlock a secret VUDU level or offer. This is not a Contra.• Other improvements and fixes to download and playback.

4.7

Oct 12, 2015

FEATURES ADDED• Now you can browse the entire VUDU library and watch thousands of free trailers and bonus features. It sure beats catching up on wedding and baby news on Facebook. • Auto-magic search suggestions on over 100K+ movies and TV shows, plus sort and filter by genre, date, reviews and more. For example, 1980’s Horror. Or 1980’s movies with <20% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Same diff.• Add new releases and favorites to your wishlist. You can also manage your wishlist and collection on the VUDU website. You currently cannot purchase or rent titles via the app.

THE DEETS ON BUG FIXES*• NO MORE RE-DOWNLOADS! Now you won’t have to redownload your movies and TV shows when you upgrade. Just stay connected to the Internet for a hot minute after updating so we can verify your downloads. Then airplane mode away.• Background downloading fixed. You can now go back to watching paint dry and water boil.• If you unplugged your headphones when watching, you might have experienced some playback errors. If you don’t watch with headphones on, you might be really annoying that person next to you on the train.• Your finely tuned, fully-customized closed captioning settings now preview correctly. • After an errant line of code accidentally put the ‘Pitch Perfect’ movie poster in place of ‘Taken’, our engineer got a really serious call that scared the bejeezus out of him. He is so, so, so, so, so, so, so sorry, Anna Kendrick.• Killed some bugs that caused VUDU to crash during sign in and when viewing content.**

FEATURES PAST• Gesture Controls – Double-tap to pause/play, swipe up/down for volume and 2-finger expand on iPad for full-screen• Certified Chromecast Support – Because even the iPad Pro screen could be bigger. Cast to a TV and watch in full 1080p HDX glory.• Closed Captioning Customization – We petitioned really hard to get Comic Sans as an option. Alas, to no avail.

*Oh hey that’s a pun!**No actual real bugs were harmed in the making of this update. Several engineers, however, have been permanently scarred for life.

Decent, but has it’s problems if this is the way of the future...

If this is the future of digital viewing, I want off. Problem is, I have already invested so much money into this format. Here are my problems:

-no easy to use offline mode

-no skip forward and back features and the pause button is poorly placed. Double tapping the screen for this is standard in all your competitors players. Don’t understand why we don’t have a skip feature at all.

-no way to purchase in the app. If you want people to use the app so you can continue to make money, give us a way to buy movies there.

-no sort of rewards for using your platform. I dig the “free” movies, but if I’m streaming all of my movies thru your servers, and bringing you revenue, I expect a little bit of kickback for my loyalty. It doesn’t even have to be a free copy of a movie, but maybe access to ad-free movies? Or a coupon to buy one of your movies thru your platform at discount?

-I would love to see a way to get digital copies placed on disc, for a small fee similar to disc to digital. I don’t mind if they have robust DRM built into them, or even if you can only do it in standard quality. I’d love to have my movies archived somewhere so I don’t lose out on my purchases.

Again, overall, decent app. I use it pretty much every day. Please listen to your customers. You are on to something here, and we want to support the digital purchase model over streaming services.

Good, but issues!! Read ⤵️

I had an account and bought 90$ worth of movies. One day i went to go back into my app and all my movies were gone. I logged out thinking its not a big deal. When i tried to log back in they wouldn't let me just kept popping up an error. Then i decided to get a new account. I got a new one and made sure i only watch the free ones. Not wasting my money like that again. And now the movies only play audio with a black screen. Sure the ads and trailers run just fine. But the movies only play audio. I once loved this app, but there has been majour flaws lately. If they could fix these bug issues in an update once again, i think my satisfaction would bump up this app to 4 stars. Bc they still have a great movie selection, and wonderful performance with easy to work movies. :)

Can't download my movies

I don't know why but I can't download any of my movies on here anymore. When ever I do try it says "Network Problem: There's a problem with the network. Check your settings and try again." Which I thought that I had to check either something in the apps settings but there was nothing there to me that could help the problem and I have good internet so I didn't know what else I could do. I know I have an iPod that's updated to the iOS 9.3.5, but on there it says too update to iOS 10 or better so with my iPhone I have it is already updated to iOS 10.3.3, but still I can't even download on this device any of my movies. Hopefully this can get fix soon and those that maybe experiencing this problem as well. I know I can still watch my movies on my iPod and iPhone in any SD or HDX but I just can't download any of my movies.

Thank you.
